took this nice goat this morning. 250 yard shot from the ol 25-06. God is good.

I shot my NM antelope yesterday and am thinking about going down to a smaller gun. I hit him in the neck and it blew a hole the size of your fist in it. He was a good one too that I was going to get mounted.

Congrats! Too bad about the mount.. Sounds like a bullet problem not caliber.
 
If your bullet is blowing big holes in game get a heavier, thicker jacketed bullet and/or reduce velocity some. I have found staying just under 3,000 fps muzzle velocity and using bullets on the heavy side for caliber will reduce the amount of meat damage. My .257 Ackley load is a 120 gr Sierra Gameking SPBT that runs about 2900 fps. Has worked wonders on lopes and whitetail.
